I have 2 google analytics accounts for 2 subdomains (www-exemple.com and s.exemple.com)
Users have to go through www-exemple to get to s.exemple
My question is :
How can i keep track of the campaigns in my 2 GA accounts.
If a user came to 'www-exemple' with a 'BLABLABLA' campaign, how can i know if he continued his navigation to 's.exemple' and get the same 'BLABLABLA' campaign on my second GA account
The purpose is to know if a campaign managed to make a user go to 'www-exemple' and then to 's.exemple'
Thx !

In my Google Analytics account, the Users count is 0 while Active Users count is 1.
Why is the active user is not being identified as Unique User in Google Analytics?
I just checked after 21 hours of Account creation and still the User count is 0 while in graph it is one for yesterday data.
Here is attachment
If you look carefully you will see that the Users are set to 'Last 7 days' (which does not include today) while the Active User count is real-time. You can tweak the time period settings, but Users will never keep up with Active Users anyway because GA is always a bit behind re everything that isn't real-time.
I am looking to provide analytics for a website which has user generated pages (which would therefore require a unique tracking ID for each page).
Is there a limit to the amount of different pages I can track?
I have looked around documentation provided by Google on data limits but have found no information regarding this.
Thanks in advance
You can create up to 50 propertys per account.
The trackable documents should be unlimited. Only limited by pageviews per month (10 million /month).
limits and quotas
Your assumption that you need to have a different tracking ID for each user generated page is not necessarily correct. You can track the entire website using the same Google Analytics property. I assume you're worried about exposing analytics data about the page generated by user A to user B accidentally. To prevent this from happening, what you can do is configure a custom dimension in Google Analytics that records which user a page belongs to. Then, when exposing analytics data to a specific user, you can make sure to only expose data about pages that belong to that specific user.
I am stuck at point and don't know how to go ahead. The scenario is -
I am tracking the visitors flow and registration on my website. I have also created different funnels and goals for the same.
Note - after coming to my website, there are 3 other ways through which a visitor can register on my website and I have created separate funnels for those flows.
Secondly, all registered users(through all funnels) are getting approved by the admin at the back end. I am separately able to capture that data in an event and hence created a goal for the number of approved users but still don't know through which funnel they registered and got approved.
My question is " How can i track and show the numbers in GA that the approved user is coming from a particular funnel/flow. For example - 4 approved user came through funnel A, 6 came through funnel B and 2 came through C."
Is it possible to show in GA?
Create custom segment: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/3124493?hl=en
which includes users that have reached goal.
Then you can get Acquisition reports for this segment.
I wonder if you can help.
We have an ecommerce site. We integrate with both PayPal and WorldPay for our payments, and have added both secure.worldpay.com and paypal.com into the list of referral exclusions in Analytics. We have also added Adwords conversion tracking to the receipt page of our checkout process.
The problem we are experiencing is that the conversions being shown in adwords, is not the same as what Analytics is telling us. If I take this Monday for example. We had 14 orders. Adwords tells us it converted 13 of those orders, yet Analytics attributes 7 to CPC and 7 to organic.
We find ourselves in this really awkward position where we dont know which Google product to trust! Do we spend more on adwords believing that it converts almost all of our orders, or do we spend less considering it only accounts for 50% of the conversions!
We have one final weird issue, whereby every so often the ecommerce data will not be sent to Analytics. Is there anyway of getting ecommerce tracking data back from the call to check if there was an error?
Many thanks in advance

Google Adwords and Google Analytics measure conversions in different ways.
Google Adwords tracks clicks on ads, and when coupled to Google Analytics attributes conversions in a 30-day window to the ad (default setting). Read as: if someone makes a purchase within 30 days after clicking on an ad, it's because they have seen the ad.
Google Analytics mostly attributes conversions using last-click attribution, which means that the medium/source of the last click is given to the conversion.
If a user clicks on an ad for great headphones and ends up on a product detail page of headphones on website X. Then decides to leave website X to compare the headphones with offerings of other vendors: website Y and Z. Finally the user decides to return to the first website X by typing in "headphones website x" in a popular search engine (not clicking any ads).
Google Adwords will contribute the conversion to it's doing ("See that user clicked my ad and bought headphones within 30 days"). However Google Analytics will attribute that conversion to the organic channel ("That user that bought those headphones, the last time I saw him he came from a search engine, that's organic").
Another difference between Google Adwords and Google Analytics is that Adwords dates it's conversion on the time of the click on the ad, Google Analytics dates it's conversion on the date it takes place. So if the ad is clicked on Wednesday and the conversion takes place on friday, Adwords will date the conversion on wednesday and Google Analytics will date the conversion on Thursday.

Here is the seemingly standard scenario for an e-commerce site.
There are two products p1 and p2, and two affiliates a1 and a2.
A user visits the product pages via different affiliates: e.g. /p1/affid=a1, /p2/affid=a2
He later return to these pages without the affiliate id and completes the transaction: e.g. /p1, /p2
I need to track each transaction with the affiliate id.
Possible solution: I can set a cookie for (product_id => affiliate_id) when the user visits the page. When user visits the page next time, during transaction I look for a cookie for that product. If I find an affiliate_id, I pass it in GA e-commerce tracking variable.
Is there any better way of doing this? Can this be done entirely using GA without any custom code? Will GA tell me number of visits to the product page before the user makes the transaction?
Use campaign tracking, e.g. /p1?utm_campaign=affiliate&utm_source=affid1&utm_medium=whatever, thus you'll be able to track e-commerce transactions associated to your affiliates by adding a campaign or source dimension to the report. This tutorial may be helpful(from p. 18 - tracking online marketing): http://services.google.com/analytics/breeze/en/v5/campaigntracking_adwordsintegration-v23_ia5/
If you already have an affiliate management system with custom ids, consider using 301 redirects from /p1/affid=a1 to /p1?utm_campaign=affiliate&utm_source=affid1&utm_medium=whatever
And you'll be able to track 'visits before transaction' metrics in the corresponding report in E-commerce section with a custom segment.
